My vs tires have a special nut on it that cant be removed by the normal size brace!
my vs tires have 1 nut on each tyre which can not be removed by the same brace as all the other nuts, if anyone else has or had this problem could they plese help me? thanks heaaaps!
If its just a normal wheel nut thats to big for the wheel brace you have,then try a socket on them.Use an extension bar as well as the rachet ..If its a locking nut you mean, I saw my dad undo them locking wheel nuts that need the special adaptor nut thing,he undid them just with one of them 4 way wheel (brace) spanners.He just fitted it over the lock nut and undone it.When he told me about it I didnt believe it until he showed me.It worked excellent.Undone them easily.He had lost the adapter nut thing for them or hadnt got one when he bought the car..He said he just tried the 4 way brace and it worked.Id never have thought it would undo them without the adaptor nut.

Spare tyre well? If you can't find it you should probably contact the previous owner.
Lock your Daughters up

lock nut dude...

If it's a locknut, just bang a socket on there to remove. Then replace with a standard wheel nut.
I have also seen locknut removal done when it would not turn with the above method. The guy took off the 4 good nuts leaving the locknut on. Then dropped the jack quickly snapping the wheel stud, it did take a few goes. Replaced the wheel stud and put on a new wheel nut. All good now.
The apprentice
get a 19mm socket and bash it onto the lock nut then use a braker bar to crack it

Presumably you have alloy wheels are missing the security nut socket.
If you take it to a tyre dealer, they usually have the tool to remove them.
yep just bang a socket thats just a bit to small over it just did it today as i lost my lock nut key another way is to weld a bit of steel to the nut and was told if u use a big chisel and smak it in the middle of the nut and its meant to spilt the nut in half
